find a number such that 14 less than three times the number is 25.
i think u subtact 14-3n=25
14-3n=25 won't get it. That gives a negative number.
Try 3n-14=25. Solve for n.
Im in algebra the answer is 14-3n=25.Promise me always get these problems right.
I apologize for any confusion. Let's solve the equation correctly to find the number you're looking for.
The problem states that "14 less than three times the number is 25." To solve this, we can first translate this statement into an equation.
Let's assign the variable "n" to represent the number we're looking for. According to the problem, we can write the equation as follows:
3n - 14 = 25
To solve for "n," we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 14 to both sides:
3n - 14 + 14 = 25 + 14
Simplifying, we get:
3n = 39
Finally, to solve for "n," divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3n/3 = 39/3
This gives us:
n = 13
Therefore, the number you're looking for is 13.
